Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

[Saf]

I understand the sentiment, but the fact you wished you were in Sunderland just means you wish you were the one doing the smacking instead of being smacked.

People in Sunderland, especially young lads from council estates were very capable of otherising Geordies, they were seen as fair game when I was growing up, might as well of been from another planet, I remember some lad from Boldon drinking with us in the Boroughs saying wor instead of our mid sentence and everything just went quiet, he would have got lamped if he wasn't with one of the lads. I realise how ridiculous that sounds now, but when you're young and daft you don't know what you're doing half the time.

I do think it's all a bit different now mind.

I wasn’t thinking along the lines of smacking anyone. Just I wouldn’t have been punched if I was in Sunderland. That’s all

I understand the rest. I get it. Nail on the head when you said young and daft, especially where there’s alcohol involved.

Then most grow out of it and see it differently as you get older

He would be a class signing, ideal 2 would be him and Diakite

Decent season as a first choice in PL and that 40 is 60 plus, already shown he can do it in the league.

it’s a bit extra money but a lot less risk.

Him and Diakite complement each other so well as well.

 

[Robertson]

If we spend nearly £60 million on Kiwior and Diakite it would be some statement. Pretty jaw dropping from where we were a year ago.

Full season at 10th placed Westerlo (Belgium), good pedigree but feels more like a Seelt/Hjelde calibre player, personally think we should be looking at 1 top class centre back, we already have good developmental defenders in the squad.

I don’t think the South Tyneside towns are far from 50/50. There’s not much in it at all.

Agree half our support won’t be Geordies, I’d probably say about 20%. Likewise, folk from areas like Peterlee and Easington are Mackems to me and there’s enough of them support Newcastle.

Interesting debate though, I remember on here people claiming that we (Geordies) aren’t as close to the club or proper supporters as those from Sunderland. You could say the Sunderland people don’t have the same passion for the derby that we do. We live and breathe it every day, every street is half Sunderland and Newcastle, same for the schools we attend and the pubs we drink in.

They’re two different cities miles apart from each other. Same for the people that live in Newcastle and North Tyneside supporting them lot. It must be like a little bubble they live in and don’t have to face their rivals when things go tits up.

Saying that, I live in Durham now and there’s definitely more Newcastle where I live. I wish we could drop the whole Mackem = Sunderland supporter. Geordie = Newcastle supporter. There’s no truth in it. It needs to be separated from football.

I have this discussion a lot, without doubt if you only count actual match goers, it will be in favour of SAFC on South Tyneside. The other lot just buy shirts and watch them on TV

Ha. They’ll be running out of options soon. Don’t think it’s too long before they hit the bottom of the list and we see this guy paraded in front of the media wearing the ‘famous number 9’

Wasn't this an old discussion that got debunked years ago? The SR vs DH vs NE season ticket postcode debate? There has never been evidence that the majority of season tickets holder don't have an SR postcode.

EDIT::

Sorry, I see what you mean, Mags on South Tyneside don't go to Sid James. Got ya.

Chukwuemeka would be worth a gamble imo dependant on price. Hasn’t quite lived up to the hype he had around him at Villa but there’s a player in there. Struggled for playtime at Dortmund and they pulled out when Chelsea asked for £30m iirc?

Giving the cartel more funds there. Divvent understand etc.

Has anything else been reported about Diakite or does it look like he’s staying at Lille

Looks good value to me that deal.

Nothing has been reported about anybody!!!

 

[Rade Prica]

Very quiet today

 

[CR17]

Vuskovic available for loan, potential CB?

 

[Culinary]

Was the only link to Diakite the Mercato one?

 

[Montysoptician]

Exactly this mate. I’m not old enough to remember because I attended my first game late 80’s and I was just a kid but I’ve been reliably informed there was a time at Roker Park where the Sunderland supporting Mackems and Geordies would banter between each other.

Then Hall (and Sky) started with their Geordie nation bullshit.

One of the regular chants at Roker Park in the sixties was, "Geordies here, Geordies there, Geordies every ****ing where", I had never heard of the term Mackem until much later.
Mind, I came from up in the hills of Stanley so we were a little behind the curve
